The main event of the show was a Lucha de Apuestas ("Bet match) where both Máscara Año 2000 and Mogur wagered their masks on the outcome of the match, with the loser being forced to take off his mask at the end of the show. Mogur had unmasked As Charro at the previous year's anniversary show and put his mask on the line once again. The show also featured a match for the NWA World Light Heavyweight Championship and a match for the Mexican National Welterweight Championship as well as an undetermined number of other matches.
